the load pattern is just a reference load, it will just multiply it by a negative number.
i think the analysis is displacement controlled, so you have to change the sign of the displacement history.

cool, let me know how it goes.

i will see if Frank can post them on the OpenSees web site for download.

look at the display functions i put into the examples manual

that's a great idea.

the recorder is there, just not post-processed.
find the folder for the analysis results (not the processed folder) and you will find a file called allnode_acc.out. the recorder data is there.
to find out the node numbers, look at allnodes_acc.txt

i think it is called section 6

yes, but the server it was on was down. i'll ask Vesna to send it.

The Cook Book on finite element has a great explanation about these handlers. they are not OpenSees-specific.

sorry, i can't email it.

do you get the same results without Pdelta???

Marie,
i really don't have the resources to do this right now.
try to just use what's there, just change the number of bars so you get the same total area.

if you give me the bar name and diameter and area and your email, i will get it to you.

not right now.
what size are you looking at?
can you just use double the size and 1/2 the number?

Farzin,
you should really understand the script you are using and not use it blindly.
I bet that if you go through the effort of understanding it you will understand what you are supposed to do.
